Long weekend with Birds

It is a long week end again. 

Birding time at Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary, near Gurgaon. 

It is 15 km from Gurgaon, (50 KM from Delhi) towards Faruknagar. The area is about 1.5 sq Km, huge water body, and marshy land. 

With winter approaching the birds also start visiting. 

Plenty of water birds. 

You can find many other birds too in different times of the year. However you will find maximum birds during winter time. 

This is Purple Heron standing atop for long. It did not move for few hours. 

Flamingo seemingly in conversation with a coot. 

 Sad part is that this flamingo does not have left wing, or partially cut. Pity.

 Painted Stork in flight. Some were busy nurturing their baby, Some were hatching their eggs, some were found trying to build their nests.
